Why do I compete in weightlifting despite my best days of lifting record weights being 27 years behind me? One of the treatment approaches we employ is to hold people accountable for scheduling activities they find inherently pleasurable, that provide them with a sense of accomplishment or mastery or are consistent with valued action. We teach patients to savor with pride their attempts at mastery of new or relearned skills and to feel excitement for their quest for better health. Ultimately we are all in training for life and its challenges. Training for competition gives me the opportunity to imagine and mentally rehearse the anticipated event and the associated positive emotions which is great for my mood. Being able to still do this sport gives me one more thing to be grateful for even though I am almost lifting half as much weight as I used to!

Where there is will there is often a way. Elham has plantar fasciitis right now and she loves to dance but hard floors don’t feel so great. The barbell and squat rack seems to work fine for a barre and half of our home wrestling mat makes a soft floor for practicing all manner of jumps, whether sauté, temps levé, jeté, assemblé, or sissonne. There are many useful things we have learned over the years of caring for people. We’ve found that connecting with what is important to people makes it possible to clear the path of how to get there while making it fun or at the very least interesting and approachable. Forge your will and blaze your way!

We are grateful to be together, that our son helps with grocery shopping and has diverse tastes in food and also for having had parents that modeled the art of culinary improvisation. We couldn’t get together with our extended family as planned so plan B was manifest. Octopus is the new Thanksgiving turkey!

Psychiatric disorders affect nearly 50% of people who’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury. Anhedonia, a major symptom of many psychiatric disorders, is the decreased ability to feel pleasure from activities a person finds pleasurable. Positive Affect Treatment or PAT is an evidence based treatment method that is targeted to address anhedonia. One of the first steps in helping our patients recover after TBI or other acquired brain injury that have anhedonia is to help them schedule and follow-through with activities that they find inherently pleasurable, make them feel accomplished, or are consistent with their valued action. This valued action means a willingness to experience an unpleasant state so long as it is part of action taken to live according to your values. The clinicians at California Neurohealth are unique in that they have suffered from TBI, recovered and then went on to serve others in their recovery and pursuit of better health. We post pictures of nature that are taken in our community which are an expression of a deliberately maintained habit to keep us at our best mood in the service of our patients; we do hard exercise in beautiful settings that we find pleasurable in order to feel accomplished and foster the fitness necessary for optimal function and longevity in the service of our life’s work.
